Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

Along the way, the cliffs and roadsides along the cultivation path were littered with the bodies of dead children, which made him more inclined to believe Lu Ye's words.

"Wait," Lu Ye called out to the warrior.

"what?"

"If your child is still alive, take him to Ashina Castle. Tell him my name and go there to find a doctor named Emma. She will help you."

"I will always remember this kindness."

After the two parted, the samurai slowly pushed open the wooden door.

If a direct confrontation is not possible, defeating it by utilizing the surrounding environment is also an excellent option.

Lu Ye continued forward and arrived at the main hall of Senpou Temple.

Inside the main hall were the desiccated corpses of monks sitting cross-legged, but these people were all possessed by insects. Their consciousness had long been lost, leaving only the insects' instinct for defense. They would attack anyone who approached.

Lu Ye avoided the insect-possessed creatures and came to the offering table.

There was a bell on the table. Lu Ye closed his eyes, put one hand in front of his chest, and then shook it with the other hand.

The clear sound of bells echoed in the main hall.

When Lu Ye opened his eyes again, he had arrived at another place.

—Illusion.

In front, there are two screens on the left and right, each depicting three monkeys, while the other screen is blank.

Lu Ye knew that to reach the inner sanctum where the Mortal Blade was kept, he had to capture these monkeys.

The three monkeys are the Observer Monkey, the Talking Monkey, and the Listening Monkey.

As the name suggests.

Monkeys have excellent eyesight and can see distant objects.

The talking monkey, once it discovers an intruder, will shout and make a scene, alarming the nearby monkeys.

Wen Hou has excellent hearing.

Lu Ye took out a blue candy from his pocket.

—Moonlight Candy.

It has the effect of temporarily eliminating sound and breath, making it difficult for enemies to detect.

Put it in your mouth, get into position, and chew it up.

Lu Ye immediately felt a pain spreading through his body. The method of summoning spirits was unbearable for ordinary people, but he had to endure it.

His form gradually became transparent. Lu Ye drew out the Wedge Pill and began his journey to catch the monkey.

Using a hook rope to swing from the eaves to a blind spot, and then taking advantage of the spirit-summoning effect of the Moon Concealing Sugar, Lu Ye successfully killed the monkey-watching monkey.

After that came the Talking Monkey, and finally, using the ninja's silence technique, they advanced to assassinate the Listening Monkey, piercing its throat with a blade.

But the four screens correspond to the four monkeys.

The last blank space signifies "invisibility".

Lu Ye stabbed his back with a knife, and with a scream, a white-haired creature was struck by the blade and vanished like mist.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Ye suddenly found himself back where he started.

But the monkeys painted on the screen were now facing away from him, a far cry from their previous lively appearance.

Then, the same voice appeared again.

"Please forgive them. Those children only wanted to protect me, but it seems that won't work now... Please close your eyes and come to see me at Okunoin."

"Yes……"

Lu Ye clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.

Gradually, I heard the sound of water.

Opening his eyes, Lu Ye found himself in the inner sanctum of the inner palace, the place where Bian Ruo Qingzi lived.

In front of me was a large wooden house.

There is a ghost Buddha statue in front of the house, and a waterfall behind it.

The environment here is very quiet.

There was no Taro, no ninjas, no monks, and no one to interfere.

Lu Ye used the battle memory at the Buddha statue.

The level has increased from 17 to 19.

After two days of fighting, his physical fitness has improved, and his physical strength has changed from D to C.

Stepping inside, you find yourself in a tatami room.

Inside the room was an altar with many lit candles.

Below the offering platform sat a young child with long, loose hair.

In front of him lay a long wooden box, lying quietly.

Why have you come?

This was the same voice that had previously advised Lu Ye not to enter Senpou Temple.

"In search of immortality."

"Did you know that was a knife that 'could not be pulled out'?"

"Ah."

"What does 'cannot be pulled out' mean? No one has ever been able to pull out that knife and survive. Even so, do you still want to pull it out?"

Chapter 147 Yongzhen's Appeasement

"Yes."

Bian Ruoqingzi opened the wooden box in front of her, revealing an ancient red katana inside.

"If you are enlightened, then pick it up."

Without hesitation, Lu Ye picked up the katana inscribed with "Tears of Worship".

He held the sword upright in front of him, and then... drew it!

The blade was drawn from its sheath, and a reddish-black miasma flowed out from it.

In an instant, Lu Ye's body fell backward.

Bianruo Qingzi let out a soft sigh.

But the next moment, cherry blossom-colored light enveloped Lu Ye's body.

He slowly got up from the ground and drew his sword again.

This time, he did not die.

—Bringing the dead back to life.

Bian Ruoqing was very surprised.

"You were brought back from the dead? Were you cursed by the Dragon's Blood?"

"I never imagined you were someone who served the Dragon Prince... Why did you seek the Mortal Blade?"

"In order to sever the root of immortality."

"I see. I read in the relevant book that if you go to the Immortal Realm and obtain the Dragon Tear, you can sever your immortality, right?"

"Why do this?" Lu Ye asked.

Bian Ruoqing was taken aback. "Aren't you going to get the Dragon Tear?"

According to the book, if the prince takes the Dragon's Tears, the contract can be broken.

“The power of immortality originates from the Sakura Dragon. Once the dragon dies, the divine power will naturally disappear,” Lu Ye said. “I never intended to let that dragon live. Killing it is my plan.”

"Kill... a dragon?" Bian Ruo Qingzi looked extremely surprised. "Since ancient times, no one has ever had such an idea. Everyone wants to use the power of the dragon to achieve immortality..."

"The immortality granted by the Sakura Dragon is a curse. Its essence is to exchange the lives of others for one's own survival. I loathe this. More importantly, it puts people important to me in danger... So that dragon must die."

"Does the Dragon Prince despise the Dragon's bloodline?"

"I think so. His parents were almost killed, and then he was almost imprisoned by some idiot and forced to sign a contract. That guy really dislikes the Dragon's Blood."

“Ah,” the qingzi before me sighed, “Fate is always so cruel. I am a qingzi with a false dragon’s blood, created by seekers of immortality, but only I have been able to grow. All my other companions have fallen into eternal sleep here. I don’t know if what you’ve done is right, but… immortality can lead people astray. I am willing to lend you a hand. Come, extend your hand.”

Lu Ye did as instructed.

White rice kept flowing from the little girl's small hands until it filled a handful.

"This is very precious rice. The more you chew it, the sweeter it becomes. It can also replenish your energy and keep you from getting tired."

"Thank you."

Lu Ye felt the warmth of the rice in his hand and put it into his pocket.

"It's alright, at least... we'll pray for your safety."

Lu Ye got up to leave, but stopped at the door.

"By the way, you are now free."

"Freedom?" Bian Ruoqingzi was taken aback.

This word was too distant for him.

Since becoming a hermit, in order to avoid the monks of Senpou Temple, he has hidden himself in this small Okunoin, living his life in this remote place day after day, like an old tree, living an unchanging life... forever.

As human beings, this way of living is simply too cruel.

"But those monks..."

“Those monks are mostly dead,” Lu Ye said. “From now on, you don’t have to stay here anymore. You are free to go wherever you want.”
